Janurary Update: Skyrim Ahead, Expect Delays

So I'm all in the habit now of posting once a month.  And I realized today was the 14th, so half of January is already gone.  Figured I better post something, or y'all will start thinking I'm dead or worse, my game is dead.  Neither is the case.  I did however receive Skyrim as an early Christmas present, and I'm been... obsessed with it ever since.  Smithing, enchanting, brewing, back to smithing...  I'm told there's dragons somewhere as well, but that seems like an odd addition to a crafting game.  =D

So yeah, not the news y'all wanted to hear I'm sure.  Take heart, Skyrim is already starting to bore me in places.  I doubt it'll hold my complete interest for much longer (although I bet I'll still fire it up occasionally for several more months).


As filler this month, I'm going to cheat & pull a question from last month's comments.

Have you ever considered implementing a Whore/Virgin system?


I have.   The problem I end up with why would you ever play the virgin side?  I'd love to think my games are good enough to stand without porn content, but let's face it, I'm a far cry away from there. 

This kinda gets back to my post a few months ago.  The player is here to see some smut.  Having a slutty option would be nice because it encourages sexy behavior without making the character lose.  But how does having a virgin path help here?  I can't imagine anyone playing the virgin path, except perhaps once through to see the dialogue changes (and even that's a stretch). 

Oddly, this could go a totally different direction.  Instead of whore/virgin, what if you started at 100% pure virgin and the objective of the game was to become as slutty as possible?  Could even have a 'scoring' system.  Not sure I'd really enjoy that kind of game though.  For some reason, I'm imagining something where you're rushing from one BJ to the next.  Could be hot to some, but not my thing. 

Now that I say that, it occurs to me this is basically what the original LoK game was.  Walk around, have sex, and as you leveled up your slutty meter you unlocked new monsters.  So maybe there's some merit to this.  I think you'd need to tweak the system in some manner though.  To be blunt, the original LoK game got boring really fast, which I'm sure is why there was a cheat button built right into it.

Anyway, feel free to discuss below.  I promise I'll try to be more responsive to comments this month.  Right after I finish crafting this suit of armor.... =)
